Find tool name for each operation - NXOPEN

[KS1971]

Hi,

I am looking for the easiset method to find the tool name for each operation in a cam program group.

I have to bare bones of what I need, I have put some pseudo code in bold where I think I may be able to get the tool name.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Imports NXOpen.CAM
Imports NXOpenUI


Module NXJournal
Dim m_OperationList() As String
Sub Main
Dim theSession As Session = Session.GetSession()
Dim theUfSession As UFSession = UFSession.GetUFSession()
Dim workPart As Part = theSession.Parts.Work
Dim displayPart As Part = theSession.Parts.Display

Dim MainProg As CAM.NCGroup = CType(WorkPart.CAMSetup.CAMGroupCollection.FindObject("CAM_PROGRAM_GROUP"), CAM.NCGroup)

'List all the ops in the program
Dim Opnames() As String = OperationList(MainProg.Tag)

For Each Op As String In Opnames

Dim operation As CAM.Operation

operation = CType(WorkPart.CAMSetup.CAMOperationCollection.FindObject(Op), CAM.Operation)
Dim Toolbuilder as CAM.ToolBuilder
Toolbuilder = WorkPart.CAMSetup.CAMOperationCollection.ToolBuilder(operation)
messagebox ("Tool used=" & Toolbuilder.Name)
ToolBuilder.Destroy()
Next
End Sub

Public Function OperationList(ByVal sTag As NXOpen.Tag) As String()
Dim theUfSession As UFSession = UFSession.GetUFSession()
m_OperationList = Nothing
Dim ptr As IntPtr = New System.IntPtr
Dim cycle_cb_fn As NXOpen.UF.UFNcgroup.CycleCbFT = New NXOpen.UF.UFNcgroup.CycleCbFT(AddressOf cycle_OperationList)
'Cycle throught this view and find every object
theUfSession.Ncgroup.CycleMembers(sTag, cycle_cb_fn, ptr)
Return m_OperationList
End Function

Private Function cycle_OperationList(ByVal camObjectTag As Tag, ByVal ptr As IntPtr) As Boolean
Dim camObject As CAM.CAMObject = NXOpen.Utilities.NXObjectManager.Get(camObjectTag)
'Check if the object is an Operation
If TypeOf camObject Is CAM.Operation Then
If m_OperationList Is Nothing Then
ReDim m_OperationList(0)
Else
ReDim Preserve m_OperationList(m_OperationList.Length)
End If
m_OperationList(UBound(m_OperationList)) = camObject.Name
End If
Return True
End Function
End Module

For info, after a lot of head scratching and plenty of googling I have found the missing line:

dim strResult as string
theUfSession.Param.AskStrValue(operation.tag, 1043, strResult)
theSession.ListingWindow.WriteLine("OP=" & op & " TOOL=" & strResult)
